Topaz and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Topaz and Euclase physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Topaz and Euclase chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Topaz- Al2SiO4(F,OH)2
  • Chemical formula of Euclase- BeAlSiO 4(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Topaz and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Topaz and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Topaz and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Topaz is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
